The Flaming Burning Stinking & Predictable Disaster that is Creighton Basketball

[ShockerPrez]

"Creighton has earned it's high-major status."

Ummm, how, exactly?

Must be those consistent high finishes in their new league . . . errr, nope. 50% isn't enough.
Maybe their history of making it to the 2nd weekend of the NCAA tournament . . . nope again.
Putting 16000 in their downtown arena game after game . . . yes, but that run may be over.

0.8 out of three ain't bad, but it ain't high-major either.

They've earned it the same as TCU, Texas Tech, Northwestern, Clemson, Boston College, Colorado, Cal, etc, etc. ..

I love how the Omaha media spins it up that the Big East is a major conference. It's not even close and it will never be looked upon as one now that the big fish have left it. 95% of the country didn't even know what was going on with the Big East this year outside of Nova. No television exposure, no nothing.

That's my fault...I was watching darts!

@JoeInBugaha: Gregg Marshall makes like 2.3 million more per year than Greg McDermott.

[Dave Stalwart]

YES. This thread needed to make an appearance today.

Really?

McDermott is overpaid more than I thought.

Really?

McDermott is overpaid more than I thought.

Remember, most of the salary is for lil' McDermott; a.k.a. Dougie McBench

Looking at Cle's stats vs McDermott's stats (per 48 minutes)*
McD: 16.35 PPG | 6.33 RPG | 1.05 APG | BLKPG 0.00 | STLPG 0.53 | TO 2.64
Cle: 15.52 PPG | 6.90 RPG | 2.59 APG | BLKPG 0.86 | STLPG 2.01 | TO 2.59


Ratios*
McD: AST/TO 0.35 | STL/TO 0.24
Cle: AST/TO 0.97 | STL/TO 0.72


McD was drafted 11th; Cle was drafted 34th.

So even when you think Cle might be struggling, at least it's not as bad as Dougie. ;)

*Numbers won't be "perfect", but close enough

Looking at Cle's stats vs McDermott's stats (per 48 minutes), they are pretty equal. Cle actually leads two catagories:

McD: 16.35 PPG | 6.33 RPG | 1.05 APG
Cle: 15.52 PPG | 6.90 RPG | 2.59 APG

The difference. McD was drafted 11th; Cle was drafted 34th.

So even when you think Cle might be struggling, at least it's not as bad as Dougie. ;)

What about blocks?

[AZ Shocker]

[GarH]

I just can't understand a thread on Creighton. They are totally irrelevant. They are nothing.

[MadaboutWu]
